Role summary

Own embedded controller and powerelectronics hardware design, board bringup, validation and production readiness for motor control and related systems. The role will work closely with firmware, test, manufacturing and sourcing to deliver reliable, costoptimal controller and power boards meeting automotive and appliance standards.

Key responsibilities

• Endtoend hardware design for controller and power PCBs: schematics, component selection, multilayer PCB reviews and DFM/DFX.
• Select costoptimal semiconductors and passive components (power supplies, signal conditioning, comms transceivers, protection circuitry).
• Architect and implement power electronics and gatedrive stages, current sensing, protection for motor control (brushed DC, BLDC, PMSM, Induction).
• Board bringup, lab testing, debugging, fault isolation and hardware troubleshooting; develop validation test benches and test plans.
• Define and execute EMI/EMC mitigation and validation; ensure compliance to relevant automotive/nonautomotive EMC and safety standards.
• Integrate and validate microcontroller/DSP platforms; verify peripherals (ADC, PWM, timers) and control interfaces.
• Design and validate communication interfaces: CAN, LIN, SPI, UART, I2C.
• Produce BOMs, hardware test reports, supplier specs; drive cost reduction and obsolescence planning.
• Mentor junior engineers and enforce hardware design best practices.

Preferred candidate profile

• 815+ years experience in embedded hardware design/testing for automotive and/or domestic appliances, with substantial motorcontrol experience.
• Sound knowledge of electronic devices used in digital and analog circuitry and experience selecting critical devices for embedded designs.
• Working experience with modern microcontrollers/DSPs, their architectures and peripheral subsystems.
• Proven experience in PCB design/evaluation, board bringup, troubleshooting and EMI/EMC validation to automotive/industry standards; familiarity with CAN/LIN/SPI/UART protocols.
